AIMS AND TOPICS
Internet access is undergoing a fundamental change. A steadily increasing spectrum of services is attracting a rapidly growing number of users which, in turn, wish to access these services 'anytime and anywhere'. In order to meet this demand, Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technologies are becoming extremely important and vendors and standardisation bodies respond to this development with new and powerful BWA technologies. Supporting transmission rates up to several megabits per second at distances far as tens of kilometres while providing full mobility support, these technologies provide the long-awaited means for delivering any telecommunication service over the Internet.
BWA technologies are yet in their infancy and one outcome is that many are far from being complete and optimised for such a versatile environment like the Internet. Consequently, BWA is currently receiving much attention by the research community. By organising this 2nd IEEE BWA Workshop, it is our intention to bring together and provide an international forum for this research community. In this line, the workshop programme covers various aspects of these technologies including but not limited to:
- Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
- Incumbent and Future BWA Technologies, 802.16x, 802.20, UMTS, etc
- QoS in Mobile and BWA Networks
- Radio Resource Management, Admission Control and Scheduling
- Capacity Planning and Traffic Engineering
- Physical and Data link Layer Issues
- Characterization, Modeling of BWA Traffic, Mobility and Channels
- Large-scale and Heterogeneous BWA Evaluations
- Spectrum Management
- Interoperability Aspects (fixed/mobile LANs/MANs, WANs)
- Vertical and Horizontal Integration
- Micro and Macromobility Management
- 3G/4G Wireless Technologies
- Applications Support
- Cross-layer Optimisation Approaches
- Experimental Evaluation of Cross-layer Interactions
- Multimedia Support
- Network Management
- (W)NGN Architectures and Trends
- Design and Evaluation of Testbeds
- Experiences/lessons from recent deployments
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length should not exceed five-page technical paper manuscript. Please see the Author Information page for submission guidelines in the CCNC website. The paper should be used as the basis for a 20-30 minute workshop presentation.
Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps format by selecting CCNC'08 at the EDAS paper submission website EDAS and then selecting the workshop submission link.
A separate cover sheet should show the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
All submitted papers will be reviewed by up to three experts and if accepted, published in the conference proceedings, which will be available at IEEEeXplore and registered in Engineering Index (EI).
At least one author of accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.
